open concept
Flowing shared space
Open concept describes interior spaces without walls separating traditional rooms—kitchen flowing into living room into dining area.
The style dominates modern home design and real estate listings: an open concept floor plan, We knocked down the wall to create an open concept kitchen.
The appeal is spaciousness and sightlines; the drawback is noise and cooking smells everywhere.
